What a humble master of the culinary arts. I wasn't intimidated to watch this, it felt like I was watching my uncle teach me something. What a great guy. I would love to learn more knife skills from him!

[@cathieprunty4405]

I have always been in such awe of this man!!! His skills are beyond amazing. I could watch him all day.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

he is a legend and true master.

[@saisamsuri]

Can't help but notice how perfect his forehead lineup is

[@dumptruck1091]

right?

[@LaLaLaAllDayLong]

I think he got hairplugs, if you see the earlyish episodes of iron chef his hairline is different

[@terihead2761]

Well he is Morimoto..he does what he wants

[@crowone1293]

The hair goes with the skills

[@b4ds33d]

That hairline is proof positive he didn’t go to a plastic surgeon who’s skill level was on par with his chefin skills. It’s criminally bad insofar as it’s obvious artificiality.

[@FiftyShadesOfDave6603]

I grew up watching this guy on a the Iron chef. Massive respect to his skills and creativity.

[@lightseeker5545]

For Japanese cuisine, he's my favorite chef. His cooking is amazing.

[@1ST3N]

I travel a lot for work and I love watching the kitchen work Japan is always my favorite. I take time off and go to Hokkaido. The seafood restaurants at the docks are my favorite. you watch them bring in all the fish from the boat. And while they are cooking you here silence. You smell the oils, and sauces. Watching a kitchen work so efficiently without anyone breaking silence once, is the most beautiful, and peaceful experience anyone can have.

[@brionyc]

I’m so relaxed watching him, love seeing such intense knowledge and skil

[@GPwithme]

YASSS. Morimoto is a LEGEND. I am HERE for this content.

[@CLB30ROX]

That's the most beautiful sashimi plate I've ever seen. Wow 😲

[@tiatrips]

Morimoto has is probably the best I've ever seen with a knife. If I've ever seen someone better, ironically enough, it's his Iron Chef colleague, Hiroyuki Sakai.

[@KLucero22]

Agreed. Morimoto and Hiroyuki Sakai are excellent. I also highly recommend watching chef Hiroyuki Terada and his knife work. Very precise and skilled as well. He has a KZbin channel as well.

[@SolCrown80]

Jeez, what incredible skills the way he trims those fish perfectly with absolutely zero waste, and the way he unravels an entire vegetable in one piece like a scroll. Unbelievable. I'm pretty sure he gets knives made by some old-timey traditional Japanese smith like they were a set of Hanzo swords or something. Morimoto is like a samurai of sushi.

[@adamjones2678]

The knives he are using here are Miyabi which is Zwilling's Japnese knife division. They make great knives with incredible consistency!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

ah yes thank you! I just picked up a new Miyabi Gyuto Japanese chef knife and it is amazing! Razor sharp and fast comfort to prep food for meals@@adamjones2678

[@johntoes1260]

It’s so exciting to watch them

[@TheSteve1126]

How this man has 10 fingers after all these years is a testament to his greatness

[@geosteele2989]

he just gave y'all some game right there!!! I love at the end "ill show you where I buy my knives next time" lol

[@hannahbirch7313]

Wow! He’s amazing.

[@aikoladesma8456]

I was just watching iron chef old school show i’ve always admired him as a cool chef as a kid still till this day his skills are amazing 👀

[@vickiemouse236]

My Favorite Iron Chef♥️♥️♥️

[@kevinpulliam6622]

My favorite Iron Chef...

[@jonathansongco4302]

Amazing.

[@xicandi63x]

He's so freaking awesome and impressive

[@rhughes1795]

The knife is a mere compliment to your extraordinary skill.

[@expomm]

A true master of knives!

[@austang8556]

Greatest iron chef ever!

[@doseofhope3481]

Just beautiful.........💗

[@kalijasin]

My favorite iron chef 😁

[@Wyldout]

This is the level I hope to reach one day!

[@coltrxne2154]

As a sushi chef of 2 years, this is ridiculous lol. One day hope to be this skilled!

[@tiatrips]

It's tough, but keep at it. You'll get there. And I say that as someone with over a decade in food service.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

true it takes years of hard work to become a master chef@@tiatrips

[@TheKitchenKitty]

Morimoto is the KNIFE NINJA!!

[@octafluoride3368]

Note: On the Knife sharpening section Mr.Morimoto talks about grinding 1 side 8 times, the other twice. I believe that is because he is using a japanese single beveled blade.

[@alexnd1ke393]

It depends on your knife many Japanese double beveled knifes are sharpened on a 70/30 or 80/20 bias.

[@cherrybomb3713]

He's essentially touching up his edge. Not re profiling it. Could be because he's better at a motion on one side or just prefers it.

[@renatogodoirangel7549]

I dont think u sharp the other side of a single beveled lol

[@2adamast]

Indeed, apparently he was flat on the bevel one side (sort of scandi grind) and flat on the side the other.

[@andrewchase3807]

@@renatogodoirangel7549 you don’t go at an angle, but you’d run it over flat

[@zennekelechien1610]

Interesting video, but he really could have used a mic.

[@gabrielviveiros6272]

First time getting in a video so soon 😁

[@1995marixsa]

sugureta ! I love you chef Morimoto

[@LauraNanoVargas]

Where can I buy those knives?: "I tell you next time ok"... RIP if anyone thought they could afford those knives.

[@revmotor]

That platter is too beautiful too eat

[@luap89]

His hand movements are giving me anxiety LOL - Sick skills though proper

[@jarryjayo]

I like when he says where can I buy your knife? answer the home shopping channel LOL and if your willing to tell a friend your not only going to get one knife but two...

[@sanjithechef]

Master

[@ekko808]

I have known many Japanese chefs in my life. None of them will tell me where to buy a knife. You'll have to figure that shit out on your own.

[@grantgrant8554]

Simple.. internet

[@ekko808]

@@grantgrant8554 The internet doesn't help you convince an old Japanese knifemaker to make you a knife of your own.

[@CYC_JP]

​@@ekko808 Sakai Jikko probably one of the best value high-end Japanese knives.

[@bidin5253]

Where next time chef morimoto we are waiting ,,😭😭😭

[@SouBuuS]

Lmfao, Chef where can I buy your knife? "I tell you next time ok?" 🤣

[@jeffreylopez9448]

What brand is his Deba knife?

[@jboy2621]

Is his line of knives from Miyabi? Expensive!!!

[@shakerson]

As someone who is 34 and has about 21 years of knife skills: A good knife can allow you to work to your full potential but it can't make you any better. The *only* way to develop knife skills is by doing and doing again and again. Chefs can't even agree on technique, use what works best for you.

[@KimoKimochii]

yeh mate

[@joaopais989]

Beside the Nenox. What knifes are been used in this video? Like, the ones with black handle...

[@theshuriken]

you can buy many microphones with the price for one of those knives

[@jouliperouli451]

The since of the knife? Thanks

[@jasonmyneni8605]

If I tried to sharpen a knife with that technique, I would have to mail it to Japan to save it.

[@antoniajagodic]

🥰❤️

[@RJ_Cormac]

I'd like to know the MSRP on those high end knives he unwrapped! 😳

[@BetweenTwoForks]

The ones he unwrapped looks like Nenohi/Nenox. I will let you Google the rest 😉

[@ottoknight1397]

@@BetweenTwoForks you'd be right, the yanagi he has is most likely cutsom by them as i can't find them no matter how hard i look, but their other yanagi seem to be around the $700-1000 range

[@megnog6444]

morimoto said yeah I'm on tv but have you ever tried drawing on your knives with a sharpie???

[@shakerson]

This is just a learning technique. He doesn't do that normally. It's how I learned freehand sharpen to shaving sharp.

[@MimiMhair]

I wish he was my teacher

[@yapaul6226]

What brand knife???

[@YummyFoodSecrets1]

❤💓❣👍💕💗

[@stephen129]

3:57 It's 'yanagiba' not 'yangagi'.

[@jaydens2756]

It’s both lol, I used to think the same but yanagi is shorter for yanagiba they still mean the same thing

[@stephen129]

@@jaydens2756 But they've written 'yangagi'.

[@LiveTasty]

what brand of knives are those?

[@datutturugang666]

probably handcrafted from back in the days

[@ozzyg8919]

The ones he pulls from the covers/sheath look like nenox/nenohi knives which are around 900 bucks give or take. The ones he uses that have his name are probably custom.

[@animefan0077]

Allez Cuisine!!!!

[@jackbolder5734]

What cutting board and size is that?

[@angelobatista7005]

Looks like a YOSHIHIRO HI-SOFT in XL to me

[@uruseee5084]

Gurunya chef juna 🤣

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

What brand of Japanese knives does Iron Chef Morimoto use? He never mentions the brand. I do see a Nakiri and Kiritsuke. but not brand or model mentioned.

[@SwordofChristMinistries]

lol lol lol Yes please tell next time. :)

[@1takesituation]

It’ll be $320.95. Would you like a sake pairing for another $175.95? It looks awesome tho!

[@appleblows1]

this chef is miles ahead of the other dude who uses honey, chipotle and whole grain mustard on most of his dishes.

[@BGRUBBIN]

The cheapest knife in his set is like $500.

[@zymphad7377]

Knives he wins Iron Chef with are Nenox. Knives he is sponsored are Miyabi Pro. Which knives are better? Nenox, easy win.

[@ScriostaOfficial]

This video would be great if Morimoto was mic’d and the camera shots weren’t so far away. Hard to understand what’s going on when you can’t see or hear anything he’s doing.

[@greg.peepeeface]

This dude needs to invest in what we call in Murica a mic vs. the directional or omni? mic off the camera that they were using.

[@firearms-explosives]

How about turning that radish into one big sheet

[@funsvlog7954]

and where is next time?

[@shawnhampton8503]

All his knives are traditional single bevel.

[@otroflores91]

Video felt so rushed. Wanted to see more cutting action.

[@b4ds33d]

Steven Seagal level hairline.

[@SuperSushidog]

Just because you can buy a Ferrari doesn't make you Mario Andretti.

[@mypeteskimo5307]

That big as chip on that nenox 😞

[@sweeper1977]

You can buy your knife in local Chinese grocery store for £15.

[@qwickiegaming8597]

Don’t do the thing he does placing his fiber near the edge Man, cuts are very very pinful

[@MrKmoconne]

Deep respect tp Morimoto san but if you don't know how to season your food, no amount of sharp knives will save you. Just how I feel.

[@ToulKorkMan]

I hope people don't follow this sharpening technique, he didn't go into detail how to sharpen each types of knives he has. Please don't learn this the hard way.

[@magicallyme96]

Love the knives 🔪 but am I the only health freak noticing him touching fish and then touching other items in the kitchen? My God 🤢

[@zypang1447]

Don't buy his knives. Just buy Japanese knives from Japanese smiths, his knives are made by German company, go figure /shrug

[@vladimirsadang4132]

Eat your heart out, Ramsey.
